Today was Chalky the Church Mouse’s 5th birthday.  The children have been so busy all week preparing for his birthday party.

We made a to do list:

wrap a present and write a tag

make a birthday card

make decorations

make party food

get a birthday cake

get ready for party games

The children worked hard to get ready for the party and then this afternoon we had a fantastic birthday celebration.  It was heard several times that “THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER!”

Chalky is one lucky little mouse to have such amazing Ascension friends!

On Wednesday the 1st October, Reception spent a wonderful afternoon at the church with their special grown ups.  It was a chance to formally welcome all of our new Reception class to our school and church family.  Some year 6 children recalled their memories of their time in Reception. Then the children received a beautiful Bible, as a gift to commemorate the occasion.  We lit candles, sang a song and hung a small portrait on a tree so that the church congregation can hold the children in their prayers and thoughts.  Finally, each child rang the bell as they left to signify the start of their school journey.
